Yehudi Menuhin’s Concert Put Back to Afternoon Prior to Commencement of Yom Kippur

Yehudi Menuhin, world-renowned Jewish violinist who was scheduled to play Yom Kippur eve at a concert for the benefit of the Motor and Cycle Trades Benevolent Fund here, will perform instead in the afternoon preceding the beginning of the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, it was reported today.

J.F. Slaughter, chairman of the Fund, said Mr. Menuhin’s contract had been altered out of respect to “his strong religious feeling and his feeling for the Jewish people generally.”
